[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 221281, member: 1024"] This year, we were at our breaking point. We called a state-funded service that sends a psychologist to the home. I thought "this ought to be interesting"....I honestly thought we were going to get some young, fresh-out-of-college, inexperienced social worker. What we got was this amazing woman who has worked at the local children's psychiatric hospital and actually trained with Ross Greene. She pinpointed Missy diagnosis from the first day she spoke with us. She came once a week for six weeks. She was here for over two hours with us, each time. Missy's neurodevelpmental doctor still hasn't changed his official diagnosis of adjustment disorder, mood disorder and adhd as a differential, which is a crock of you-know-what. We tried the stims, just made her manic. Abilify helped, but fizzled out. Risperdal and the Trileptal is the only combo that has "normed" her out. That particular psychologist recommended a psychiatrist, whom I will be making an appointment with in January. I would rather work with two professionals that will work together. The neurodev doctor did nothing but put this woman down, when she was the only person that actually made suggestions and gave me pointers to work and help Missy. There is no point in arguing with arrogance. [/QUOTE]
